While Kushina was bragging about her husband to Mito, Minato had also returned home, but he didn't go to sleep.
He decided to completely exhaust his chakra again, as it had fully recovered during the evening of shopping.
Looking at his Fire Release development, it had reached 59.9%, with only 0.1% left to reach 60%.
He had received a reward when his physique reached 60%, so he wondered what he would get for 60% in Fire Release.
He created a shadow clone and practiced Fire Release with it. As time passed, and after his chakra was depleted, Minato's Fire Release development finally reached 60%.
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for reaching 60% in Fire Release development."
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for learning the B-rank Fire Release ninjutsu—Great Fire Annihilation."
Oh, not bad. He was just worrying about not having any higher-level ninjutsu. A B-rank ninjutsu as a reward for reaching 60% development. Does that mean he'll get an A-rank ninjutsu at 80%? Not bad, not bad at all.
After seeing the reward for reaching 60% in Fire Release, Minato turned his attention to Lightning and Wind Release, especially Lightning Release, which only needed another 0.5% to level up. Then he would have a B-rank Lightning Release ninjutsu.
Wind Release wasn't far off either. Hmm, it's decided. Recently, I'll focus on getting the B-rank Lightning and Wind Release ninjutsu. That way, I'll have three B-rank ninjutsu, and my strength will increase as well.
Over the next few days, Minato focused his training efforts on Lightning and Wind Release. After exhausting his chakra, he would go find Kushina to build their relationship. This way, he could flirt and train at the same time, killing two birds with one stone.
In just over half a month, he managed to raise both his Wind and Lightning Release to 60%. The main time was spent on Wind Release, as it was behind by 1.4% in development.
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for reaching 60% in Lightning Release development."
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for learning the B-rank Lightning Release ninjutsu—Angry Raging Tiger."
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for reaching 60% in Wind Release development."
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for learning the B-rank Wind Release ninjutsu—Tornado Fist."
With this, all three of Minato's elemental releases had reached 60%, and he had learned three B-rank ninjutsu.

Hmm, my strength has improved quite a bit, a whole stage. But I guess it's mainly related to the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Although the teleportation distance wasn't very far, it was no problem for short-range use.
But as his development level increased, especially after completing the first stage of development, Minato believed the distance would get farther and farther.
Then, he could leave Flying Thunder God formulas all over the ninja world, and go anywhere with just a thought. In battle, he could suddenly appear wherever he looked and treat the enemy to a Rasengan combo meal. Hmm, a free one.
But he couldn't form a Rasengan yet. Minato planned to wait until his physique development reached 100% before practicing it. After all, as an A-rank ninjutsu, its chakra consumption was enormous. With Minato's current chakra reserves, he couldn't really fire off many of them.
Especially when used in conjunction with the Flying Thunder God Technique, the number would likely be even smaller.
Besides, since he was currently in Konoha, there was no need to prepare a trump card yet. It wouldn't be too late to work on it after graduation.
If there was any danger, he could just run home, or if that didn't work, he could run to the Hokage's office.
It was just a matter of one Flying Thunder God, anyway.
Then, he would wait until he was stronger to get his revenge. It was that simple. In the early stages, Minato was determined to lay low and develop, not to act recklessly.
Today, as usual, he walked home from school with Kushina. But unlike before, they were followed by three third wheels: the Ino-Shika-Cho trio of their year.
As the future Fourth Hokage, his team was essential, so it was best to start from a young age.
And while the Ino-Shika-Cho clans in Konoha were not as powerful as the Uchiha or Hyuga, they were still famous, prominent clans.
Binding the future clan heads to his chariot was very necessary.
Before Kushina arrived, Minato had already established a good relationship with them. Today, he had sought out the three of them mainly to introduce Kushina and have them get to know each other.
